Abstract excerpt
Abnormal accumulation of beta-catenin is considered to be a strong driving force in hepatocellular carcinogenesis; however, the mechanism of beta-catenin accumulation in tumours is unclear. Here, it was demonstrated that hepatitis B virus X protein (HBx) differentially regulates the level of beta-catenin through two ubiquitin-dependent proteasome pathways depending on p53 status. In the presence of p53, HBx...
